" Gone in 60 Seconds was one of those movies where the most memorable on-screen personality was a car, for better or worse. Of course, that was Eleanor, the Steve Sanford-designed 1967 Ford Mustang, heavily modified, that is Nicholas Cage&amp;#039;s white whale in the film. And it is certainly memorable.

And by hero car, we mean cars involved in the shots that had Cage or costars Angelina Jolie and Giovanni Ribisi in them.  This Eleanor is functional and well-equipped, having been cleaned up for post-filming sale by Cinema Vehicle Services. They added a functional side exhaust system to a package that includes a Ford Racing 351 crate engine, Holley 700 4-barrel carb, 4-speed manual, Positraction rear, an aluminum radiator, Total Control front braces, 17-inch Halibrand clones, and a four-wheel disc brake setup. That&amp;#039;s in addition to all the cosmetic mods. For a movie car, that&amp;#039;s impressively specced. In May of 2013, Mecum auctioned an Eleanor hero car that brought in a cool $1,000,000\u2014although that listing claimed it shared screen time with Nic Cage himself, and this auction does not. There&amp;#039;s no telling what it&amp;#039;ll bring until the hammer falls, but don&amp;#039;t bet against Eleanor&amp;#039;s continuing appeal.
